Pre Order before 28th June 2020
The Final Frontier has promised to be a controversial record since the cover art was unveiled, actually. This new, comic booky Eddie in space stirred up a strange sense of dread among fans, not offset by the fact that “El Dorado”, the first track released, was a bit of a grower to the say the least. And that’s a good analogy for how the record begins, “Satelite 15…” is without a doubt the weirdest thing that Iron Maiden has ever included on a record, complete with distorted bass and a drum machine that lead right into what is probably the most straight forward rock song Maiden has ever written in their career, “The Final Frontier”. However, the track flows right into an in context “El Dorado” and suddenly the record is flying. And, really, it stays in air for the next 42 minutes.
